On May 29, 2008 I was diagnosed with Tonsil Cancer. I created this blog to share my thoughts and sequence of events for family, friends and others that are experiencing the same "Inconvenience in Life." I have been blessed with a great life full of wonderful experiences, a caring family, a fabulous wife, outstanding children, good friends, and satisfying careers. Each day is truly: Another Day in Paradise.

DAY 278 - Day 181 in Recovery Paradise
Feeling tired again. Just can't seem to catch up on my sleep. I make it through the day - but could be asleep in minutes if I allowed it. Am having a tough time gaining weight. Just don't seem to have the appetite necessary to bulk it up. My voice is getting stronger and my mouth is not so dry. I am taking my "spit" pills and it seems to be helping.
Got a call from my oncologist for a new appointment. For the first time, I feel a bit nervous. I haven't got any tests to report on, so there is no legitimate reason to be nervous.
This is my last month of part time work. Go back to work full time April 1. I just hope that I can get more energized this month. It has been good to ease back into work - as I use my voice a lot and it is getting stronger.
I feel like I have been given a good second shot about doing things with my life. An extension of time. I do seem to appreciate the smaller things and don't sweat what used to be bigger things.
I appreciate family and friends and look forward to giving back more than I used to.
